Definitions
- the instant invention relates to an apparatus for filling a medical instrument with a radioactive substance and a corresponding method.
- radioactive substances are used for various diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.
- angioplasty a stricture or blockage of blood vessels in a human or animal body is removed or the vessel reopened by way of balloon dilation.
- scars may form (recurrent stenosis) after introduction of a balloon catheter into a blood vessel and dilating or reopening the blood vessel, caused by microscopic lesion of the inner wall of the blood vessel during the procedure.
- a stent imbued with a medicinal substance may be placed at the widened location in the blood vessel. The cell growth inhibitors continuously released by the same will prevent restenosis.
- a promising alternative consists in filling a dilation balloon with a radioactive liquid.
- the radioactive radiation which emanates from the same will cause local obliteration of the walls of the affected vessel so that cicatrization thus can be avoided.
- the risk of restenosis can be lowered many times in comparison with dilation or reopening of a blood vessel and thereafter leaving it untreated. What is more, this is achieved without submitting the patient's body to a poison load from medication.
- specific requirements must be met and preventive measures be taken in the clinical environment when making use of radioactive radiation. For instance, filling the catheter with radioactive liquids presents an increased hazard both for the patient and the medical staff.
- Treatment comprises filling the syringe with a fluid radioactive substance from a receptacle, usually performed in a laboratory, transporting the syringe filled with the radioactive liquid to the patient, applying a catheter, this being done by a physician, and connecting the catheter to the syringe to fill it, emptying the catheter, and removing the catheter from inside the patient.
- the physician and clinical staff as well as the patient are exposed to the radioactive radiation issuing from the radioactive liquid.
- the patient moreover, suffers from radiation exposure before and after the actual treatment of the blood vessel during the filling and emptying of the catheter, a risk of further radiation exposure already existing while the syringe filled with the radioactive liquid is transported from the laboratory to the patient.
- an apparatus for filling a medical instrument with a radioactive substance.
- the apparatus includes a housings which shields radioactive radiation and is designed to receive a syringe and at least part of a medical instrument. It further includes a means to take up a receptacle for a radioactive substance.
- a substantial reduction can be obtained in radiation exposure caused by a radioactive substance, especially a radioactive liquid which is being filled into a medical instrument, for example, a catheter, in particular a balloon catheter.
- a radioactive substance especially a radioactive liquid which is being filled into a medical instrument, for example, a catheter, in particular a balloon catheter.
- the apparatus is designed such that the filling and emptying of the medical instrument is performed in a radiation-shielding housing.
- a syringe used to fill the medical instrument and at least part of the medical instrument as well as a receptacle containing a radioactive substance for administration can be interconnected in a way which safeguards against radiation. Therefore, the medical staff applying or preparing the treatment as well as the patient are substantially protected from radioactive radiation while the catheter is being filled or emptied.
- the syringe, the catheter, and the receptacle containing the radioactive substance can be interconnected and shielded before the catheter is filled. In this manner, transportation without shielding of a syringe filled with a radioactive substance can be avoided.
- the means destined to take up the receptacle is devised for positioning and fixing of the receptacle outside of the housing.
- the housing has an opening for a connection to be established with the receptacle for feeding a radioactive substance into the housing.
- receptacles in which radioactive substances are kept can be connected to the housing regardless of their size and, moreover, the apparatus can be designed in space-saving fashion since the receptacle need not be received inside the housing of the apparatus.
- the receptacle itself preferably is equipped with its own radioactive shielding or made of a material which offers such shielding.
- the apparatus and the receptacle may be embodied by separate units makes easy and riskfree handling and filling of the radioactive substance possible. It may be accomplished, for example, in a laboratory by skilled personnel using suitable equipment. Physicians or other medical staff need not be bothered with this task.
- the housing comprises a lid which serves for covering or closing of the apparatus and of a receptacle for a radioactive substance arranged at the housing.
- a lid which serves for covering or closing of the apparatus and of a receptacle for a radioactive substance arranged at the housing.
- components such as a syringe, a medical instrument, valves, and tube sections for connections into the housing and to interconnect the components.
- the radioactive substance on the other hand, preferably is not fed into the syringe and medical instrument, respectively, until after the lid has been closed.
- the lid design is such that also the receptacle for the radioactive substance can be covered or closed by the lid. Therefore, the design of the receptacle may be such that a cover of the receptacle, once the receptacle is positioned on the apparatus, may be removed and one or more tubes be used to interconnect the receptacle, syringe, and medical instrument, whereupon all the components, including the receptacle will be shielded against radioactive radiation upon closing the lid.
- the receptacle could be provided with a conduit protected against radioactive radiation for connection to the housing.
- the housing comprises a means adapted to be operated from outside, for example, a rotary lever which extends through the wall of the housing and may be engaged for manipulating a valve mounted inside the housing.
- the valve for example, may be made of plastics such as frequently used in the medical field to connect hoses. In particular, it may be a three-way or multi-way valve and be arranged in the housing for actuation from outside by the rotary lever.
- the housing is made of a material which shields radioactive radiation, especially of tungsten.
- Other materials suitable for radiation shielding may be chosen as well.
- the housing may comprise a window opening.
- a lead window pane may be mounted in the window opening.
- the housing may comprise a flap by which to close the window.
- the flap in addition, may be provided with a mirror at the inside so that the filling procedure may be watched when the flap is partly opened.
- the radioactive liquid must not contain bubbles. That is extremely important since the presence of air in the catheter tube might prohibit the complete filling of the catheter so that the balloon would become partly or totally filled with air and the radioactive liquid remain in the tube. In this event, no treatment of the blood vessel at the desired location would happen.
- the housing is designed for fixing of the syringe and part of the medical instrument and also for receiving and fixing one or more valves and connecting lines in the housing.
- Arranging and fixing the components may be accomplished, for example, by the provision of form-fit holding devices in the interior of the housing to retain the respective components or parts in place.
- Such holding devices may be manufactured as inserts to be introduced into the housing or they may be made internal with the housing. It is conceivable, too, that parts of the holding devices are provided both in the lid and the remainder of the housing so that full fixation of the component(s) positioned in the housing is obtained by closing of the lid.
- the housing includes an opening for actuating an injection plunger of a syringe disposed in the apparatus.
- the syringe disposed in the apparatus thus may be operated manually or by means of a motor from the outside of the housing.
- a shielding device may be provided for the end of the injection plunger projecting from the syringe.

- the medical instrument is a balloon catheter.
- the invention also provides a system for filling a receptacle with a radioactive substance, including an apparatus according to the invention, a receptacle for a radioactive substance, and a syringe.
- the system further may include a salve disposed in the apparatus, a medical instrument, such as a catheter, disposed at least partly in the apparatus, and tube sections for connecting the syringe, the valve, the receptacle for a radioactive substance, and the medical instrument.
- a syringe, a receptacle for a radioactive substance, and a medical instrument may be interconnected by tube sections and valves in such manner that switching a valve, in particular a three-way valve, first will cause filling of the syringe with the radioactive liquid and then filling of a medical instrument big the emptying of the syringe.
- the syringe, the receptacle for the radioactive substance, and the tube section or sections and the valve or valves as well as at least part of the medical instrument are shielded with respect to the surroundings.
- exposure to radioactive radiation of persons in the vicinity can be greatly reduced.
- the receptacle for a radioactive substance is removably attached to the apparatus.
- the receptacle thus is readily exchangeable and yet forms a stable unit with the apparatus.
- the apparatus can be connected to receptacles of different sizes.
